Picked up one of these the last time it was on sale. Makes a nice little remote for my laptop using the button remapping so I can drive VLC, for example.

Purchased to try on Tesla games, saw it was compatible and not sure what a Tesla really uses as a good controller.

I had high hopes for this remote — compact, perfect for my Tesla Model Y Juniper. But it was a letdown. It connects briefly, then drops, making it unreliable and unusable. Though it's supposed to work with Teslas, that wasn't my experience. If you're looking for a portable Tesla remote, skip this one. It's not worth the hassle.

I love this thing, I use it with my iPad. I needed a controller that could be customized to whatever keyboard strokes I needed for shortcuts in Lightroom mobile and this was the only one I could find. Works really well. I will say that I tried it on an android phone and had issues but with my iPad mini and iPad Pro it works perfectly.

Bought it 3 days ago for $22. Barely missed this deal. Oh well.

Anyway, this is the most popular page turner for Kobo e-readers. I bought it for use on one. It works quite well. I have a barely used Kindle colorsoft but I was getting bugged with not being able to use it with a bedside stand. I got a clip-on page turner and it doesn't work well at all. Page turns aren't reliable, can't move back and the clip on hides text on screen. Finally read about Kobo readers working well with these. So bought a Libra Colour and this controller. It's works surprisingly well. Am able to turn pages back and forth without issue.

Was even able to set it up with KOReader on the Libra Colour. Took me 2 days to figure that out. Third party KOReader plugins don't work with Libra Colour yet. Anyway, point is almost all compatibility efforts on ereader page turners focus around this device. It's pretty much perfect for that use case.

If you have an iPad and you draw alot, you can use it as a shortcut tool to swap between Procreate functions. Super useful. I imagine the same for PC drawing tools as well.

If you're buying this to use as an actual gaming controller and have hands larger than those of a small child, do not buy this.

I really liked the idea of something small enough to toss in my bag for long travel days, but holy crap it hurts to use this for more than a couple minutes.

Seems like there are a number of non-gaming uses for it though, so maybe it's worth it if you're looking to repurpose it.

This controller is terrible. I found the buttons impossible to map with android and app is not intuitive at all. If you're looking for something to turn on and just works I'd buy the Crkd atom controller. Around the same size, great build quality and zero hassle.
